A new series of small linear motors has been developed to satisfy high-tech applications in the medical and industrial sectors. Minimotor have developed the Linear DC-Servomotor series LM 1247, with dimensions as small as 12.5 x 47mm, and a weight of merely 56g. This actuator can produce a peak force of up to 9.4N at full power, with standard stroke lengths of 20mm and 80mm.
The Linear DC-Servomotor consists of a non-magnetic metal alloy casing (stator), with built-in coil and analogue Hall sensors. The high precision metal cylinder filled with permanent magnets moves concentrically inside the stator, resulting in a miniature linear motor with a powerful, dynamic performance.
Precise control of this new linear motor is achieved with the optimised Motion Controller series MCLM 3003/06, also available with CAN interface. This results in an acceleration of 175 m/s ², speeds up to 2.7m/s and positional repeatability of 40 microns. The controller is extremely versatile and user-friendly in combination with the freely available Motion Manager software.
